The Associated Press: FDA finds salmonella strain in jalapeno pepper is the latest story in the hunt for the salmonella outbreak that has sickened over a thousand people this summer. Which has me sad, because I eat a lot of jalapeno peppers. Not just in hot sauces, but in salsa, and if there’s anything I like in peppers, it’s the fresh ones and not the pickled-in-a-jar ones.
One thing’s for sure, it’s impressive that salmonella can handle the heat!

Meyer: Harvin’s heel healing well after surgery is the latest report from Sports Illustrated, which has me breathing a sigh of relief. Percy Harvins is easily the most exciting player to watch in college football. I didn’t get to watch Reggie Bush in action when he was in college, but from all accounts, Percy is more exciting and dynamic. His only problem is staying healthy, as he takes a beating considering the amount of times he touches the football.
I am seriously chomping at the bit for college football season to start. I’m excited for this year’s Florida Gators!

“You suddenly are reminded how the economy works,” says Eric Roston, author of a new book about energy, The Carbon Age. “Nobody wants high prices for oil. But there’s also no faster mechanism to change behavior.”

Matt Harding of Where The Hell is Matt? fame has a new video out, that has him spanning the globe dancing with people from all over. It’s pretty awesome, and the song, Praan (available on Amazon MP3 for 89 cents), really makes it stand out. It gave me goosepimples. Check it out:

I wrote this in response to Monica, when she had asked if it was schizophrenia that she would listen to new music one day, and old music the next. I thought I’d share my reply on here:
Some day you’re in the mood for new music, sometimes you want a comfort listen, a lot like comfort food … well, comforts you. It’s familiar, soothing, has deep-seated memories attached to them whether they be happy or sad.
To me, music is a lot like photography. They remind you of a time, place, mood, taste, smell, sight, and a myriad of other feelings. They’re tiny little bookmarks that make us such incredibly complex and sophisticated beings.
New music need a chance to develop (like new photographs) while old music are fully developed, worn around the edges, but still maintaining their colors, warmth, and personality.
Some days I’m in the mood for new music, to me it’s like deep-sea diving, looking for treasure. When you finally do stumble upon a treasure chest full of all the glories that is ear candy, it’s worth its weight in gold.
Other days I’m in the mood for music of the past, that remind me of my childhood, a certain time and/or place, or just to revisit a familiar friend.
One day it’s indie rock, the next it’s reggae. After that I could have a irresistible craving for new age. Then I’ll go back to indie rock, only to explore the tiny little subgenres of rock; alt-country, bubble gum pop, folktronic, rockabilly, and so on.
We live in the best time in the world for the appreciation of music as a whole. There’s so much at our fingertips, it’s deliciously overwhelming!
